Detection Condition Number
You can register new detection conditions by clicking [+ Create New]. Up to five detection conditions can be registered. To view or edit a registered detection condition, click [Detection Condition X] to open the settings screen.
The message IDs (decimal) for TCP alarm notifications are: Detection Condition 1: “138,” Detection Condition 2: “139,” Detection Condition 3: “140,” Detection Condition 4: “141,” and Detection Condition 5: “142.” When registering names associated with these message IDs in systems such as a recorder, you must ensure that the detection condition numbers match for each detection type across multiple cameras.

(Example)


Camera 1: (Detection Condition 1) Free-text detection (person not wearing a helmet), (Detection Condition 2) Fall detection
Camera 2: (Detection Condition 1) Free-text detection (person not wearing a helmet), (Detection Condition 2) Fall detection
